Computer Engineering, B.S.

California State University - Fullerton

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides students with a strong theoretical and practical background in both the hardware and the software aspects of computer-based systems, along with the engineering analysis, design and implementation skills necessary to work between the two. The curriculum is based on an engineering philosophy, emphasizing hardware more than software. Topics integrated into the curriculum include digital systems, computer organization and architecture, processor interfacing techniques, HDL design using VHDL and Verilog, advanced electronics and embedded system design. The program develops an ability to apply design and analysis knowledge to the practice of computer engineering in an effective and professional manner.The undergraduate program in Computer Engineering at CSUF provides students with a strong theoretical and practical background in both the hardware and the software aspects of computer-based systems, along with the engineering analysis, design and implementation skills necessary to work between the two.
